The Journals of the Assembly do not show that be introduced a bill or resolution of any kind, or that he even made a motion during the session. Upon all party questions, he had no mind of his own, but blindly followed his leadnot less than $20,000, which is a direct tax upon the consumer without any corresponding page 337 we find that he voted against the mowas indefinitely postponed the day before. This Lerrer rrom Horace Greecer.—lIn the Sacramento Union, of Monday, we find a letter from Horace Greeley, addrezsed to the editor of the San Francisco Zimes, in which that gencreed, gives his views as to the policy of the Republican party of this State. Greeley’s own views are pretty extensively known, and he says truly that he bas not seen them set forth in the resolves of any Convention held this year in California, or advocated by any set of candidates, The Republican candidates, he says seem to have vied with the anti-Lecompton Democrats in proclaiming their devotion to what is termed Popular Sovereignty, which doctrine does not suit Greeley at all. Such being the case, he does not see the necessity of two rival State tickets iv opposition to the Lecompton Democrats. He thinks if he, holding as be does to the doctrine of Congressional prohibition of slavery in the Territories, could vote, as be did, for John B. Haskin, an antiLecompton Democrat, that the Republicans of California, who stand on their State platform, should not hesitate to vote for J. C, McKibbin, unless party organizations are of more account than fundamental principles. The opinion of Greeley is not likely to have mach weight with the remnants of the Repub. lican party in this State, for they have already announced, through their speakers and their San Francisco organ that they would prefer the suceces ef the Lecompton to the anti-Lecompton party, and it is the opinion of well informed men that a majority of the Republicans who intend to support their own State ticket would vote for the Lecompton candidates provided their own were withdrawn from the field. As the Republican candidates in general will get but a very small vote, such of that party as honestly prefer the election of McKibbin to Scott and Burch will of course vote for him. Repusiican MeeTing.—Mr. P. H. Sibley, one of the Republican nominees for Congress, delivered a sperch in this place last Friday evening. Tbe mecting was small and but little enthusiasm exhibited. That portion of bia speech which we heard, was devoted to denouncing Douglas, Broderick, and McKibbin. He undertook to make out that the Republican was the Only true Popular Sovereignty party, and explained his position in substance aa follows: He isin favor of allowing the people of the Territories to govern themselves as long as they exclude slavery by their local laws; but should the people of any Territory attempt to introduce slavery, then he isin favor of Congress intervening to exclude the institution; he insists on the constitutional right of Congress to legislate on the domestic institutions of the Territories, eo that in case his party deem it necessary, and have the political power, they can call on Cungress to intervene to exclude slavery. Messrs. Stanford, Tracy, and other Republican speakers, with the exception of Col. Baker, advocate a similar political creed, and we can see no practical difference between their principles. and those advocated by Greeley. They propose to accomplish the same end by a different means, if it can be done, but if not, then they are ready to adopt the means proposed by Greeley. The principles of the Lecomptonites are similar to those of Tracy, Sibley & Co. They are for non-interveution, unless the people of the Territories shall attempt to exclude slavery; in that case, they hold that Congress should intervene to protect the institution. The only true Popular Sovereignty party in the country are the anti-Lecomptoa Democrats, who hold that Congress should not in the Territories, but that the peuple thereof, have the right, and are fully competent, to regulate their own domestic affairs. Excouraaixe To Tyros.—From the last issue of the Nevada Journal, we learn that that institution, in the two months of their career after the fire of 1856, wiped out a loss of $10,000, and that this obliteration of their losses was entirely owing to the personal exertions of N. P. Brown, Esq. For the purpose of showing what could have been done if Nathaniel’s wind had lasted to the present time, we offer, ala Horace Greeley, a few figures, Thirty-six months of straight licke would give at that rate one hundred and cighty thousand dollars; and if the other then members of the firm, who are supposed to have witnessed witheut an effort these exertions of Natty, had let themselves out, we havea grand total of seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars, profits, (rejecting in silent contempt aH fractions,) as the result of one newspaper enterprise for three years. Behind these figures we intrench ourselves. They can parade their Allison Ranch and Live Oak leads, but our cotemporary ciphers them into insignificance. We are rather pleased to learn, however, that Mr. Brown’s connection with the Journal is at an end. That paper should not make a monopoly of his enterprise, but should let him spread himself over the country. In the present condition of our finances, we have no objection to one touch from this little Midas, and will promise a nice nest to the golden goose of the Journal. Evections at THe East.—An election for States officers and members of Congress was held in Kentucky on Monday the first inst., and in Tennessee on the Thursday following. The next overland mail will bring some returns from Kentucky, and in the course of another week we shall doubtless know the resalt in both States, unless the vote is very close. In Kentucky the only national issue agitated was as te whether Congress should intervene for the protection of slavery in the Territories—the Democratic candidates having generally adopted the popular sovereignty platform, while the opposition are clamoring for a Congressional slave code. In Tennessee, also, the Democratic candidates have generally taken a much less sectional position than their opponents; and the success of the opposition in these States would be regarded throughout the South as an endorsement of the slave code doctrines of Jeff. Davie, Brown, Hunter and other politicians of that clase. An animated canvass has been carried on in these States, and both parties professed to be confident of success. Elections were also beld in Texas, Alabama and North Carolina, about the first of this month, MEETING at Stocktoy.—On Tuesday evening of last week, Messrs, Broderick, McKibbin, and Booker addressed the largest political meeting ever held in Stockton. About 2,000 persons were present, tleman, after laying @own bis own political . Lecom Meeting at Moore’s Flat. 7TT Moons Frat, Ang. 26th 1859. Eprror Democrat.—The people of this pleasant little village were ealled upon this evening to listen to an exposition of the doctrine of the Lecomptonites, by the candidates for Senator and Dis trict Attorney, respectively, upon that ticket. The gathering, though by nomeans a large one, contained adecided majority of the true democracy—and your correspondent gathered from the running comments indulged in by the more intelligent portion of the audience, during the various addresses, that the mingled sophistries and falsehoods of the speakers had no effect upon them other than to inspire supreme disgust at the shallowness of the men who were thus attempting to throw dust in the eyes of an intelligent gathering of American citizens. One portion of the speech of the Lecompton nominee for District Attorney, seems to deserve an especial notice at the hands of your correspondent—if for no other reason, because of the originality of the idea, and chaste language in which it was expressed. In speaking of that valuable newspaper, the Sacra, mento Union, Mr. Maslin said: “This paper—the Sacramento Union—which, b: its lewdness, venality and corruption, has done, an is doing more to corrupt public sentiment, than half : dozen brothels in every town in the State could 0. Such efforts of forensic eloquence as the above, interspersed with slanderous and vituperative abuse of Mr. Broderick, and an obscene story from Dick Moyes, constituted the “intellectual repast” with which the citizens of this place were this evening regaled by the standard-bearers of the Lecomptonites ; and as you may ee aap elicited no enthusiasm. ours, &c. CITIZEN. For the Democrat, Nerthern Democrats—The Position they occupy Im the Ranks of the Chivalry. Mr. Epiror.—In casting an eye over the checkered and turbulent field of the political warfare now raging with such intensity throughout the State, and in noting from a distance, as it were, the positions occupied by various men with whose antecedents we are familiar, we are led to reflect upon the motives which induce men to take the stand they respectively occupy upon the great political questions of the day. With this reflection comes the query,—are these men sincere in their support of this most imbecile and vascillating Administration? Is their regard for the best interests of the country so little that they will assist by their votes and influence in carrying a ticket, the legislative portion of which, if elected, will, as sure as the sun shines, be favorable intervene, either to protect or exclude slavery . to the pet scheme of Gwin and his minions—and will assist, contrary to all right, reason and justice, and in the face too of the known wishes of the people, in re-electing the Lime Pointer aforesaid to the Senate of the United States ? and in addition, will they aid in sending to the lower House of Congress, two such men as Scott and Burch—the former of whom is known to be, and the latter of whom is suspected of being the mere pliant tools of Dr. Gwin? For my part, having some knowledge of the past political history of the gentlemen to whom I refer, I cannot believe that their opinions have undergone so great a change, or that their judgments have become so warped, as to justify them in abandoning all their former principles. If then, they are with us at heart, (as I firmly believe them to be) what object can they have in pursuing their present course? The answer is furnished usin the single word, “ambition.” Some of them want to go to the United States Senate, others would be satisfied to serve the people in a less exalted capacity—but they all want office. It io fox thig xcaoun that I would mew eal thes attention to a fact which they all seem to me to have overlooked; and that is, that however great the serviee these sot-disant conservative gentlemen may render the Southern party—no matter even though they save it from absolute and irretrievable ruin— when the time comes for their anticipated reward, they will find that they have been placing in the hands of the Virginians a weapon to be used for the purpose of their own destruction. The Virginians will not keep faith. The political history of the country is full even to repletion of instances of their ingratitude and treachery to northern men, who stretched forth the saving hand when the cry was— “Help me, Cassius, or I sink!” and such instances will continue to be as frequent hereafter, so long as northern Democrats will remain so persistently blind to their own true position, Now, I am not vain cnough to suppose for a moment, that anything from my humble pen could influence these gentlemen, or control ther political action—but I do wish they would ask themselves the candid question: ‘Are we not indirectly aiding Dr. Gwin to regain his seat (so long dishonored) in the Senate of the United States?” Andis he not the man whom they profess so thorouhly to despise ? Is there one of them who will not be indignant, and upon whose cheek the blush of shame willnot mantle at the mere imputation that he is a supporter of of that most unfaithful public servant ? I say to them, then—be no longer renegades to the principles which I believe you know to be correct. Come out like men, who have the moral courage to acknowledge having fallen into error, and who have the moral honesty to atone for it. Come out and help us, The True Democracy, to elect at least our legislative ticket throughout the State. Aid us, I say again, in rebuking this hoary-headed old demagogue, who is capable of selling you, and I, and all of us, and with us our best and dearest interests to the highest bidder for cash, if you place in his unworthy hands the power of doing so. Pursue the contrary course, and you will live to curse the home that witnessed your act of folly. BacK WoopsMAN. Taar Pout Tax Recxtrt.—The Grass Valley . &* ational is still harping upon that poll tax receipt alleged to have been sold by Capt. Henderson, without being signed by the Auditor, and asks us to explain. All that we know of thie matter was derived froma conversation with the District Attorney some time since, and that we gave two weeks ago. We have never heard any one else allude to the subject. Mr. Anderson informed us that there was no charge against Mr. Brennan, the Assessor, that if any one was to blame it was the deputy who sold the receipt. As Capt. Henderson is not a eandidate for any office, and the county officers are all informed on the subject, we have not deemed it necessary to investigate the matter. We took it for granted that if there was any reaton to suspect that the county had been defrauded of its revenues, the District Attorney would have the matter investigated; if he has not done so he bas negleeted his duties. Latnay, io his speech at Nevada, said he had been charged in some parts of the State with getting drunk and abusing his family. The speakers who have been stumping the State say they never heard thiseharge mentioned, and the papers in different parts of the State declare that the charge was never heard of in their respective sections, until read in Latham’s speech. The people here have not forgotten with what indignation Latham pronounced the charge false, and how he complained of the invasion of bis fireside sanctuary, But it appears he manufactured the charge against himself in order to create sympathy. Did a politician ever resort to a more contemptible dodge ? LETTER FROM SISKIYOU COUNTY. Quartz Mining in Siskiyou—Political Speeches— Election Prospects, &c. Freneon Guicu, Aug. 15th 1859. Eprror Democrat.—At length I have progressed far enough through the cares and perplexities attendant upon getting settled in a new country, to find the first opportunity of writing. The Demoerat finds its way weekly to our mountain home, in fact, so regular have been its visits of late, that we have began to regard it as a fixed institution, and look with as much pleasure and eagerness as. We are anthorized to announce certainty to its coming. You will observe by the heading of this, that I . Nevada Township, for the office of Justice of the have changed my location, and am now holding . the ensuing election. ' forth at the junction of French Guleh and Indian Creek. This place, which I have chosen for a home is within a few hours ride of Yreka, and about the center of the richest mining district in the country, and although but a mere village at present, is possessed of advantages that must soon rear a large town. ‘There is scarce a ravine or gulch in the vicinity but is paying, or will pay, good wages, while recent prospecting has developed the fact, that the hills are traversed by quartz veins, which in richness and extent, are equal to those of any other section of the State. We havea good supply of water, a daily increasing population, and for vegetable supplies are convenient to the beautiful and fertile Scott Valley as well as the broad fields of Oregon. Until the past spring but little attention was paid in this neighborhood to quartz mining. Miners were content to follow the water-courses, and from their beds and banks gather such pay as they might contain, leaying hills and flats tothe undisturbed possession of Diggers and “varmints.” At that time, the quartz excitement which had been raging in the southern and middle portions of the State reached here, and about every other man in the county experienced an ambition to become proprietor of a quartz interest. In no part of Siskiyou, however, did the excitement attain such a pitch as in this immediate vicinity. Here, naerly every body turned out to prospecting. The surface of the surrounding hills was thoroughly picked over, to the discomfiture of their animal and reptile inhabitants, and wherever appeared an indication upon which could be based the least suspicion of the existence of a ledge, notices were posted, stakes set, and work began in good carnest. Some hauled their rock to the nearest mill, distant twelve miles, others constructed rude arastras and worked by mule power ; from these, such prospects were obtained as warranted the investment of capital in working the ledges, and now within three-fourths of a mile of where I am writing, two mills are being erected, and a number more are contemplated. The paying lodes that I have seen differ in some respects from those about Nevada. They lie nearly due north and south, and are almost perpendicular. In size, or thickness, they average greater, and is more uniform. The rock is coarser grain and are less impregnated with iron, or sulphurets, and much of that which pays the best, looks so poor that one from mere sight would pronounce it worthless. Some that I have seen appears to have been at one time subjected to a very severe heat, and on being put into water it slacks down like lime. The gold taken from these ledges is very fine, both in grain and quality, it having assayed as high as eighteen dollars an ounce. In the vicinity of Mugginsville, a few miles from here there are several leads opened which are paying finely. One of these, (the Shore’s ledge) has been worked for sometime, and gained quite a reputation for wealth. I saw a specimen taken from this vein some two weeks since, that weighed seven pounds, about five and a half of which was pure gold. The such taheu fium wien four feet of where this specimen was found, yielded over four thonsand dollars. This, however, is better considerably than the average pay of even that lead. Ido not think that we have here veins of such fabulous wealth as we hear of in other parts of the ensslaeryille, Alba the wife of C, W, Mulford, oF baie docahce July 2th, — ee —— . .

This Lerrer rrom Horace Greecer.—lIn the Sacramento Union, of Monday, we find a letter from Horace Greeley, addrezsed to the editor of the San Francisco Zimes, in which that gencreed, gives his views as to the policy of the Republican party of this State. Greeley’s own views are pretty extensively known, and he says truly that he bas not seen them set forth in the resolves of any Convention held this year in California, or advocated by any set of candidates, The Republican candidates, he says seem to have vied with the anti-Lecompton Democrats in proclaiming their devotion to what is termed Popular Sovereignty, which doctrine does not suit Greeley at all. Such being the case, he does not see the necessity of two rival State tickets iv opposition to the Lecompton Democrats. He thinks if he, holding as be does to the doctrine of Congressional prohibition of slavery in the Territories, could vote, as be did, for John B. Haskin, an antiLecompton Democrat, that the Republicans of California, who stand on their State platform, should not hesitate to vote for J. C, McKibbin, unless party organizations are of more account than fundamental principles. The opinion of Greeley is not likely to have mach weight with the remnants of the Repub. lican party in this State, for they have already announced, through their speakers and their San Francisco organ that they would prefer the suceces ef the Lecompton to the anti-Lecompton party, and it is the opinion of well informed men that a majority of the Republicans who intend to support their own State ticket would vote for the Lecompton candidates provided their own were withdrawn from the field. As the Republican candidates in general will get but a very small vote, such of that party as honestly prefer the election of McKibbin to Scott and Burch will of course vote for him. Repusiican MeeTing.—Mr. P. H. Sibley, one of the Republican nominees for Congress, delivered a sperch in this place last Friday evening. Tbe mecting was small and but little enthusiasm exhibited. That portion of bia speech which we heard, was devoted to denouncing Douglas, Broderick, and McKibbin. He undertook to make out that the Republican was the Only true Popular Sovereignty party, and explained his position in substance aa follows: He isin favor of allowing the people of the Territories to govern themselves as long as they exclude slavery by their local laws; but should the people of any Territory attempt to introduce slavery, then he isin favor of Congress intervening to exclude the institution; he insists on the constitutional right of Congress to legislate on the domestic institutions of the Territories, eo that in case his party deem it necessary, and have the political power, they can call on Cungress to intervene to exclude slavery. Messrs. Stanford, Tracy, and other Republican speakers, with the exception of Col. Baker, advocate a similar political creed, and we can see no practical difference between their principles. and those advocated by Greeley. They propose to accomplish the same end by a different means, if it can be done, but if not, then they are ready to adopt the means proposed by Greeley. The principles of the Lecomptonites are similar to those of Tracy, Sibley & Co. They are for non-interveution, unless the people of the Territories shall attempt to exclude slavery; in that case, they hold that Congress should intervene to protect the institution. The only true Popular Sovereignty party in the country are the anti-Lecomptoa Democrats, who hold that Congress should not in the Territories, but that the peuple thereof, have the right, and are fully competent, to regulate their own domestic affairs. Excouraaixe To Tyros.—From the last issue of the Nevada Journal, we learn that that institution, in the two months of their career after the fire of 1856, wiped out a loss of $10,000, and that this obliteration of their losses was entirely owing to the personal exertions of N. P. Brown, Esq. For the purpose of showing what could have been done if Nathaniel’s wind had lasted to the present time, we offer, ala Horace Greeley, a few figures, Thirty-six months of straight licke would give at that rate one hundred and cighty thousand dollars; and if the other then members of the firm, who are supposed to have witnessed witheut an effort these exertions of Natty, had let themselves out, we havea grand total of seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars, profits, (rejecting in silent contempt aH fractions,) as the result of one newspaper enterprise for three years. Behind these figures we intrench ourselves. They can parade their Allison Ranch and Live Oak leads, but our cotemporary ciphers them into insignificance. We are rather pleased to learn, however, that Mr. Brown’s connection with the Journal is at an end. That paper should not make a monopoly of his enterprise, but should let him spread himself over the country. In the present condition of our finances, we have no objection to one touch from this little Midas, and will promise a nice nest to the golden goose of the Journal. Evections at THe East.—An election for States officers and members of Congress was held in Kentucky on Monday the first inst., and in Tennessee on the Thursday following. The next overland mail will bring some returns from Kentucky, and in the course of another week we shall doubtless know the resalt in both States, unless the vote is very close. In Kentucky the only national issue agitated was as te whether Congress should intervene for the protection of slavery in the Territories—the Democratic candidates having generally adopted the popular sovereignty platform, while the opposition are clamoring for a Congressional slave code. In Tennessee, also, the Democratic candidates have generally taken a much less sectional position than their opponents; and the success of the opposition in these States would be regarded throughout the South as an endorsement of the slave code doctrines of Jeff. Davie, Brown, Hunter and other politicians of that clase. An animated canvass has been carried on in these States, and both parties professed to be confident of success. Elections were also beld in Texas, Alabama and North Carolina, about the first of this month, MEETING at Stocktoy.—On Tuesday evening of last week, Messrs, Broderick, McKibbin, and Booker addressed the largest political meeting ever held in Stockton. About 2,000 persons were present, tleman, after laying @own bis own political . Lecom Meeting at Moore’s Flat. 7TT Moons Frat, Ang. 26th 1859. Eprror Democrat.—The people of this pleasant little village were ealled upon this evening to listen to an exposition of the doctrine of the Lecomptonites, by the candidates for Senator and Dis trict Attorney, respectively, upon that ticket. The gathering, though by nomeans a large one, contained adecided majority of the true democracy—and your correspondent gathered from the running comments indulged in by the more intelligent portion of the audience, during the various addresses, that the mingled sophistries and falsehoods of the speakers had no effect upon them other than to inspire supreme disgust at the shallowness of the men who were thus attempting to throw dust in the eyes of an intelligent gathering of American citizens. One portion of the speech of the Lecompton nominee for District Attorney, seems to deserve an especial notice at the hands of your correspondent—if for no other reason, because of the originality of the idea, and chaste language in which it was expressed. In speaking of that valuable newspaper, the Sacra, mento Union, Mr. Maslin said: “This paper—the Sacramento Union—which, b: its lewdness, venality and corruption, has done, an is doing more to corrupt public sentiment, than half : dozen brothels in every town in the State could 0. Such efforts of forensic eloquence as the above, interspersed with slanderous and vituperative abuse of Mr. Broderick, and an obscene story from Dick Moyes, constituted the “intellectual repast” with which the citizens of this place were this evening regaled by the standard-bearers of the Lecomptonites ; and as you may ee aap elicited no enthusiasm. ours, &c. CITIZEN. For the Democrat, Nerthern Democrats—The Position they occupy Im the Ranks of the Chivalry. Mr. Epiror.—In casting an eye over the checkered and turbulent field of the political warfare now raging with such intensity throughout the State, and in noting from a distance, as it were, the positions occupied by various men with whose antecedents we are familiar, we are led to reflect upon the motives which induce men to take the stand they respectively occupy upon the great political questions of the day. With this reflection comes the query,—are these men sincere in their support of this most imbecile and vascillating Administration? Is their regard for the best interests of the country so little that they will assist by their votes and influence in carrying a ticket, the legislative portion of which, if elected, will, as sure as the sun shines, be favorable intervene, either to protect or exclude slavery . to the pet scheme of Gwin and his minions—and will assist, contrary to all right, reason and justice, and in the face too of the known wishes of the people, in re-electing the Lime Pointer aforesaid to the Senate of the United States ? and in addition, will they aid in sending to the lower House of Congress, two such men as Scott and Burch—the former of whom is known to be, and the latter of whom is suspected of being the mere pliant tools of Dr. Gwin? For my part, having some knowledge of the past political history of the gentlemen to whom I refer, I cannot believe that their opinions have undergone so great a change, or that their judgments have become so warped, as to justify them in abandoning all their former principles. If then, they are with us at heart, (as I firmly believe them to be) what object can they have in pursuing their present course? The answer is furnished usin the single word, “ambition.” Some of them want to go to the United States Senate, others would be satisfied to serve the people in a less exalted capacity—but they all want office. It io fox thig xcaoun that I would mew eal thes attention to a fact which they all seem to me to have overlooked; and that is, that however great the serviee these sot-disant conservative gentlemen may render the Southern party—no matter even though they save it from absolute and irretrievable ruin— when the time comes for their anticipated reward, they will find that they have been placing in the hands of the Virginians a weapon to be used for the purpose of their own destruction. The Virginians will not keep faith. The political history of the country is full even to repletion of instances of their ingratitude and treachery to northern men, who stretched forth the saving hand when the cry was— “Help me, Cassius, or I sink!” and such instances will continue to be as frequent hereafter, so long as northern Democrats will remain so persistently blind to their own true position,

Now, I am not vain cnough to suppose for a moment, that anything from my humble pen could influence these gentlemen, or control ther political action—but I do wish they would ask themselves the candid question: ‘Are we not indirectly aiding Dr. Gwin to regain his seat (so long dishonored) in the Senate of the United States?” Andis he not the man whom they profess so thorouhly to despise ? Is there one of them who will not be indignant, and upon whose cheek the blush of shame willnot mantle at the mere imputation that he is a supporter of of that most unfaithful public servant ? I say to them, then—be no longer renegades to the principles which I believe you know to be correct. Come out like men, who have the moral courage to acknowledge having fallen into error, and who have the moral honesty to atone for it. Come out and help us, The True Democracy, to elect at least our legislative ticket throughout the State. Aid us, I say again, in rebuking this hoary-headed old demagogue, who is capable of selling you, and I, and all of us, and with us our best and dearest interests to the highest bidder for cash, if you place in his unworthy hands the power of doing so. Pursue the contrary course, and you will live to curse the home that witnessed your act of folly. BacK WoopsMAN. Taar Pout Tax Recxtrt.—The Grass Valley . &* ational is still harping upon that poll tax receipt alleged to have been sold by Capt. Henderson, without being signed by the Auditor, and asks us to explain. All that we know of thie matter was derived froma conversation with the District Attorney some time since, and that we gave two weeks ago. We have never heard any one else allude to the subject. Mr. Anderson informed us that there was no charge against Mr. Brennan, the Assessor, that if any one was to blame it was the deputy who sold the receipt. As Capt. Henderson is not a eandidate for any office, and the county officers are all informed on the subject, we have not deemed it necessary to investigate the matter. We took it for granted that if there was any reaton to suspect that the county had been defrauded of its revenues, the District Attorney would have the matter investigated; if he has not done so he bas negleeted his duties. Latnay, io his speech at Nevada, said he had been charged in some parts of the State with getting drunk and abusing his family. The speakers who have been stumping the State say they never heard thiseharge mentioned, and the papers in different parts of the State declare that the charge was never heard of in their respective sections, until read in Latham’s speech. The people here have not forgotten with what indignation Latham pronounced the charge false, and how he complained of the invasion of bis fireside sanctuary, But it appears he manufactured the charge against himself in order to create sympathy. Did a politician ever resort to a more contemptible dodge ? LETTER FROM SISKIYOU COUNTY. Quartz Mining in Siskiyou—Political Speeches— Election Prospects, &c. Freneon Guicu, Aug. 15th 1859.

The Demoerat finds its way weekly to our mountain home, in fact, so regular have been its visits of late, that we have began to regard it as a fixed institution, and look with as much pleasure and eagerness as. We are anthorized to announce certainty to its coming. You will observe by the heading of this, that I . Nevada Township, for the office of Justice of the have changed my location, and am now holding . the ensuing election. ' forth at the junction of French Guleh and Indian Creek. This place, which I have chosen for a home is within a few hours ride of Yreka, and about the center of the richest mining district in the country, and although but a mere village at present, is possessed of advantages that must soon rear a large town. ‘There is scarce a ravine or gulch in the vicinity but is paying, or will pay, good wages, while recent prospecting has developed the fact, that the hills are traversed by quartz veins, which in richness and extent, are equal to those of any other section of the State. We havea good supply of water, a daily increasing population, and for vegetable supplies are convenient to the beautiful and fertile Scott Valley as well as the broad fields of Oregon. Until the past spring but little attention was paid in this neighborhood to quartz mining. Miners were content to follow the water-courses, and from their beds and banks gather such pay as they might contain, leaying hills and flats tothe undisturbed possession of Diggers and “varmints.” At that time, the quartz excitement which had been raging in the southern and middle portions of the State reached here, and about every other man in the county experienced an ambition to become proprietor of a quartz interest. In no part of Siskiyou, however, did the excitement attain such a pitch as in this immediate vicinity. Here, naerly every body turned out to prospecting. The surface of the surrounding hills was thoroughly picked over, to the discomfiture of their animal and reptile inhabitants, and wherever appeared an indication upon which could be based the least suspicion of the existence of a ledge, notices were posted, stakes set, and work began in good carnest. Some hauled their rock to the nearest mill, distant twelve miles, others constructed rude arastras and worked by mule power ; from these, such prospects were obtained as warranted the investment of capital in working the ledges, and now within three-fourths of a mile of where I am writing, two mills are being erected, and a number more are contemplated. The paying lodes that I have seen differ in some respects from those about Nevada. They lie nearly due north and south, and are almost perpendicular. In size, or thickness, they average greater, and is more uniform. The rock is coarser grain and are less impregnated with iron, or sulphurets, and much of that which pays the best, looks so poor that one from mere sight would pronounce it worthless. Some that I have seen appears to have been at one time subjected to a very severe heat, and on being put into water it slacks down like lime. The gold taken from these ledges is very fine, both in grain and quality, it having assayed as high as eighteen dollars an ounce. In the vicinity of Mugginsville, a few miles from here there are several leads opened which are paying finely. One of these, (the Shore’s ledge) has been worked for sometime, and gained quite a reputation for wealth. I saw a specimen taken from this vein some two weeks since, that weighed seven pounds, about five and a half of which was pure gold. The such taheu fium wien four feet of where this specimen was found, yielded over four thonsand dollars. This, however, is better considerably than the average pay of even that lead. Ido not think that we have here veins of such fabulous wealth as we hear of in other parts of the ensslaeryille, Alba the wife of C, W, Mulford, oF baie docahce July 2th, — ee —— . .

HE Proprietors of the NATIONAL LEDGE AND MILL, situated near Eureka, in Nevada County, offer this Valuable l’roperty for Sale On Reasonable Terms, State, but Iam induced to believe that there are Be With all its Water Rights and Appurtenances. “GR plenty of them, which under the supervision of experience, and with proper machinery, will pay from The Company being too large, in their opinion it is thought best to sell in order to consolidate. The attention of Quartz Miners is called to it—as it is twenty to forty dollars a ton. But enough of quartz . believed to be if properly worked, as good a Ledge as any for the present. As election day approaches, political excitement increases withus. ‘The strife in this county has been left entirely to the leadership of the two wings of the Democratic party, members of other political denominations being content to rahge themselves in the lines, for or against the Administration. The “big guns”’ of the campaign have been fired at all the principal points, and an occasional squib goes off, just to keep up the smell of powder. I was so situated that I got to hear but one or two of the speeches that have been made, but I have hada on the Ridge. For particulars apply to R. B. MOYES, Orleans Flat. JOHN I. CALDWELL, Nevada. J.

Druggists and Apothecaries. created by the speakers. Although not possessed of the oratory, or so flowery a speaker as some of his opponents, yet Mr. Broderick, in his visit to Siskiyou, made many political friends, and succeeded in destroying much of the prejudice created against him by lying journals, His plain, unvarnished statements, and manly avowal of principle, a force that all of Gwin’s and Latham’s sophistry and annecdote failed to counteract. McKibbin’s is said to have been the best political speech ever delivered in Yreka. You may look for a majority in favor of the anti-Leeompton State ticket in this county. The county ticket however, may from local causes, be partially defeated. Cc. C. G. Fieut wit THE Mouave Inp1ans.—The overland stage brings us news of a battle between the U.S. soldiers under the command of Major Armistead and the Mohave Indians, which took place on 5th of August, about fifteen miles from Fort Mohave. The battle lasted for several hours, ‘he whites ben the affair, with 21 men, and were afterwards reinforced by 26 additional soldiers. The savages were in great force and fought with great bravery, but were totally defeafed. seve pt dead Ind. po ans were found, and it is su about sixty were slain. Twelve whites were killed, DraGoep To Deatu.—Mr. Ferdinand Gauchat, a young Frenchman about 22 years of age, was killed near Stockton on Thusday last. He was leading a horse, and had the rope wound tightly around his hand, The horse started off suddenly at a furious rate, and the young man could not extricate himself. He was dragged upon the ground until he was killed, Mint Sratistics.—According toa table published in the Alta, last week, it appears that the average cost of coinage at the San Francisco Mint last year, $1 11 per $100, while it was $1 20 in the Philadelphia Mint, $1 70 in the New Orleans Mint 4 50 at the Charlotte Mint, South Carolina, an at a.

Young, has cume out ina card, and announced that be will not be a candidate for County Clerk. Mr. Young’s was the “one sore head’’ alluded to by the Grass Valley National some weeks ago who charged that his nomination was defeated through bribery and corruption. Mr. L.C. Caries, formerly a resident of Nevada, and well known to most of our old residents, is a candidate on the Democratic ticket for Sheriff of Plumas county. Mr. Charles has many warm friends in this county who will be glad to learn that his election is almost certain.
